In a bid to tackle alcohol related anti-social behaviour (ASB) across the borough of Hounslow the council has committed to introduce a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO).

Under the order, anyone found in a position of the inappropriate use of alcohol in a public place could receive a fixed penalty of £100, which could rise to £1,000 on prosecution if the original fine is not paid.

Councillor Hanif Khan, cabinet member for community protection and enforcement at Hounslow Council, said: "This new order will enable the council to take action to reduce alcohol related anti-social behaviour and help ensure the borough is clean and safe.

"When we consulted on the proposal, a massive 93% of people were in favour.
